Once a Haunted Mansion, Now one of Iloilo's Tourist Attraction
This is my first destination for my last day in Iloilo. I opted to visit Iloilo's old structure then a friend brought me to her alma mater which is the Angelicum School. She gave me a little bit of history of the school
which are the ff :
- this mansion was built by the sugar barons of the olden days, Lizares Family
- it was occupied by the Japanese Army during World War II, many Japanese army died during that time that's why the mansion is still haunted today.
- it was donated to the Dominican Fathers, renovated it and turned it into Angelicum School of Iloilo
- every Christmas Season, the main building is lit up with christmas lights which makes it a tourist attraction during Christmas.
Here are other images of Lizares Mansion.

Unfortunately, we weren't able to tour inside the mansion since there was a wake inside it's chapel.
How to get here:
Just take a jeep with the signboard Jaro-NFA from the downtown and tell the driver to drop you to Angelicum School. Fare : P6.00
Cheers,

I was still a kid when my family and I went to Iloilo. I really have to go back soon. So many awesome places to explore!
is this related to angelicum college in Sto. Domingo, Quezon City? that's where I finished High School.
